Tesla is recalling 120,423 vehicles within the US over the danger of doors unlocking during a crash, in line with a report Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the nation’s road safety regulator, on Friday announced the recall affecting the 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles, saying those units fail to comply with certain federal safety standards for side-impact protection, in line with Reuters.
Tesla released an over-the-air software update to deal with the issue.
In its largest recall ever within the Elon Musk-led company’s 20-year history last week, Tesla recalled greater than 2 million vehicles in the US, covering nearly all its vehicles on American roads.
Federal regulators had cited “insufficient” safeguards over Tesla’s Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system against drive misuse, so the corporate initiated a voluntary recall to implement “additional checks” to encourage drivers to proceed to listen to the roads even when Autopilot is lively.
“There could also be an increased risk of a crash” when the Autopilot driver-assistance system is engaged, the NHTSA wrote last week, in line with The Washington Post, “and the motive force doesn’t maintain responsibility for vehicle operation and is unprepared to intervene as vital.”
Other major automakers announced recalls this week.
Toyota Motor Co. announced Wednesday the corporate is recalling 1 million vehicles over a defect that would cause airbags to not deploy if sensors within the front passenger seat short circuit. The recall applies to Toyota Avalons, Camrys, Highlanders, RAV4s, Siennas and Corollas, in addition to among the hybrids of those models, and a few Lexus models, including the ES250 sedan and the RX350 SUV, in line with The Associated Press.
Honda issued a recall Monday of greater than 2.5 million vehicles over a fuel pump issue that will lead to the engine not starting and even stalling while driving, increasing the danger of crash or injury, the NHTSA said.
A document published by the NHTSA on Wednesday showed that General Motors had issued a stop sale of a select variety of its 2024 model-year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks over concern that the metal on the passenger side roof could split open. About 3,067 vehicles can be inspected in consequence.
Last month, Toyota recalled 1.9 million RAV4 SUVs over concern their batteries could shift and catch fire.
